ПРОБЛЕМА ВІЙНИ НА ТЛІ ІДЕНТИФІКАЦІЇ НАЦІЙ І НАРОДІВ У РОМАНІ „БІКІНІ” ЯНУША-ЛЕОНА ВИШНЕВСЬКОГО

Abstract

In the article the author focuses on the coverage of the problems of World War II against the background of the identification of nations and peoples in the popular Bianchi best-selling novel by Janusz-Leon Vyshnevsky, in which the military theme and its modern interpretation are presented very sharply and vividly. The contemporary Polish writer does not resort to pathos, because in the new environment they would sound insincere. He himself, like many other writers of the twentieth century, was not an eyewitness to the described military events, so the documentary accuracy of his facts is drawn from the archives. The artistic word helped the artist to move beyond the cold ascertainment of historical material and to present anti-militant motives in such a way that their heart was squeezed and frost went down. The author of the article emphasises that the novel “Bikini” is unsurpassed in terms of emotional saturation. Contributed to this are ordinary paintings of the humanistic worldview, superimposed on several dimensions of time space – past and present. In Vyshnevsky’s work we trace the change of the typical military plot atypical – the author enters into a hostile environment with the desire to find a human beginning there and find elements of humanity. Some antiheroes turn into positive characters who have ordinary human traits that are common to ordinary people. Separate images are not common. It is the humanism of the ordinary human face to which the seal of war is imposed. With great artistic skill is depicted the inner world of man in times of war, its consequences and threats to the modern world. Through the music, literature, art of photography, and other cultural attributes, the spirituality of the novel’s heroes takes a toll on war. “Bikini” by Y.-L. Vyshnevsky – a work of life-affirming and at the same time realistic. Based on the tradition of antiwar writing of previous generations, the danger of war and all the realities associated with it are individually created. The man in Vishnevsky’s work comes to the fore. The future, not only of one country or nation, but of the entire planet, depends on its views, hopes and activities.
